How was the shipping packaging?

I've watched several Youtube videos and most of them showed the cards in styrofoam with individual slots.  Mine did not come like that.  There was a larger generic box (that was a bit dinged up by Fed-Ex) and inside that were two smaller boxes that seem to be CGC created.  A smaller box can hold a little over 50 cards with slotted cardboard dividing the cards.  There is wiggle room, so when you receive the box it may sound loose, but my cards and cases arrived just fine.  The smaller boxes were "cushioned" inside the generic mailing box with a couple pieces of thick bubble wrap.

It may not be much to some people, but all of the cards I have submitted were cards I pulled with my son back in 1999 so they have special importance to me.  I submitted 10 base set unlimited Charmeleon cards and EVERY one got an 8.5.  10 consecutive serial #'s all 8.5!  I think that is kind of neat!   

I don't need the money and will just keep them all until I pass away and someone inherits a ton of Pokemon cards,

You are really lucky non of your slabs got scuff marks on them with this packaging like a lot of people.... I'm worried for when my bulk submission come back they will be damaged.... I'm hoping for the best tho

I still think they have two different locations still. They have their old location that still has submissions from like March and older and everything else goes to their new building. Just a wild guess

Did you send this Economy sub with another faster sub (Standard or Express)? I'm just trying to figure out how my Economy sub received in Feb is slower than yours received in April.

Looks like everything after March is getting better service/faster processing. If that's the case, they need to start refunding people for the delays...

I really wish that would happen, but slim to no chance of seeing any refunds for the delays. I just hope this week the subs start flying through so more of us start getting our cards back finally.

Thanks for the update and congratulation. It seem they are still only at the end of march. What me off was that my was received on the beginning of April, but they didn't log in the system until mid June. Now i gotta wait another two and a half month. .

Honestly I don't remember. Very much possible. Not sure if that would matter though.

I agree I've had numerous people getting their bulk submissions back and my economy was 1-2 months ahead of their bulk. This company is ridiculous. 

[Elliott329]

mine came in a big box, with cards in hard plastic shell

[bluechomper]

I'm really confused. When I first checked today, my economy sub was marked as "Quality Control / Finalized". When I came back and looked again, it was switched to "Grading / Quality Control". What does this mean?

Probably means they caught something in QC and are fixing it for you.

I'm in the same boat with the same submission date. Why is bulk getting shipped back to owners before economy? Bulk that was submitted long after our economy submissions. CGC refuses to answer this or even acknowledge it. I keep getting cut and paste emails when I inquire about my sub. I know I'm shouting into an echo chamber, but once I get my submission back I will never use their service again. 

To not even address or acknowledge what is going on is infuriating. I'm getting close to 3 months in g/e/i.

Have you tried to call them during their business hours? I had to call once and they were very prompt and professional over the phone. Who knows how the support emails are actually directed specially since they were just bought out.

So now its in the usual Grading/QC phase. Really confused by all these new labels.
